Not Even If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth

Not Even If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth by the Dandy Warhols



For the first few years of college I really liked the Dandy Warhols. Now... I haven't listened to them in years. I was totally disappointed by their third album and never bothered to buy another one after that.

This song is over 10 years old now, and I'm trying to figure out if it could even be called cutting edge at the time. As Courtney Taylor-Taylor sings over and over again, "heroin is so passe". I guess... but I've never thought of heroin as an old trend, which is what passe means after all. LSD is probably passe. But heroin? I don't think so... but maybe it is... I don't know, I don't do drugs.

So what is passe? I alway say New York is passe just because so few trends actually start there. New York thinks it's cool, and it is, but it isn't the coolest.

Hipsters are passe.

Socialism is passe.

I could go on and on and on, but lists are passe too.
